On Thursday, Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) Securities adjusted its outlook on Harmony Biosciences Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:HRMY), raising the price target on the stock to $48.00 from the previous $44.00, while maintaining an Outperform rating. Currently trading at $33.39, the stock shows significant upside potential according to InvestingPro analysis, which indicates the company is undervalued. The adjustment follows Harmony (JO:HARJ) Biosciences’ first-quarter performance, which featured a revenue beat from its lead asset Wakix and no negative surprises in its pipeline.
